CaesarsCasino.com is one of several online gambling sites that are owned and operated by Caesars Interactive Entertainment Group, the online division of Caesars Entertainment Corporation.

Legalized state-run online gambling was officially launched in New Jersey on Nov. 26, 2013, at which time Caesars and most of the then operating Atlantic City casinos opened up their virtual doors for both online casino games and poker.

Most of these sites, plus a few that were launched later, are still open. What distinguishes the Caesars sites from the rest of the pack is not only the fact that all of the Caesars sites were up and running on Day 1, but the dominance of Caesars in the online gambling market.

Caesars (despite closing Showboat in 2014) is still the only licensed casino operator in New Jersey to currently own more than one land-based casino.

It also owns and operates more gambling websites for New Jersey players than any other casino operator (although Borgata is catching up and actually surpasses Caesars as the leading revenue generator both online and offline).

Players who can and wish to gamble online in New Jersey, unlike their counterparts in Nevada, can now legally play either casino games or poker on an authorized website.

Each New Jersey casino has the option to offer either casino gambling only or poker only, or a combination of both.

Thus far, those which offer both, like Caesars Interactive Entertainment, have kept the sites for the two platform types separate. The website www.CaesarsCasino.com, like its title suggests, is just for casino games.

Other New Jersey gambling sites also owned by Caesars Interactive Entertainment include the following:

If you wish, you can also use your Total Rewards cashback (from play either online or offline) to reload your online account.

Later in this review we will describe the Total Rewards Program in more detail. While any good casino, whether online or offline, has a loyalty rewards program, Total Rewards is much more versatile than most because the benefits are interchangeable across all participating casinos.

You can play at any Caesars-owned casino property or affiliated online casino in the United States or abroad and redeem your rewards at any other. WSOP.com and 888.com do not participate in Total Rewards, but have their own site-specific player rewards programs.

Who can play

The minimum legal age to gamble in the state of New Jersey is 21, and this applies not only to the Atlantic City casinos, but also to their affiliated state-licensed websites.

Which state you live in or even if you reside outside of the country doesn’t affect your ability to play either in the casinos or online, but if you wish to play online, you must at least be physically present in the State of New Jersey for the entire duration of your play.

CaesarsCasino.com works exactly like all of the other New Jersey state-run gambling sites in this respect. If you try to log on to play from outside of the state, access will be denied.

In fact, in order to play on CaesarsCasino.com for real money, you will need to download and install geolocation software on your computer.

The software can detect your location in seconds, so it is a waste of time to try to play outside of New Jersey, thinking you won’t be caught.

You will, and while nothing terrible will happen, you won’t be able to play.

Security and fairness

The name Caesars immediately conjures up an image in anyone who is at all familiar with casino gambling in a luxurious playing environment, quality games and impeccable service.

This impression is fully justified given the many years the Caesars brand has been associated with casino gambling and its worldwide presence.

The first Caesars Casino opened back in 1937 in Reno with the Harrah’s name. Over the ensuing three-quarters of a century Caesars has grown into an international casino empire.

Today Caesars Entertainment Corporation owns and operates more than 50 casinos, hotels and other gambling-related businesses all over the world. Caesars’ commitment to safe and fair gambling practices is evident not only in all of the company’s brick and mortar facilities, but also in its online operations.

CaesarsCasino.com provides a safe, regulated, 100 percent legal site to play casino games online in New Jersey for real money. As a state-run website, the casino is licensed and regulated by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement and required to abide by all of that organization’s rules.

In fact, prior to receiving its license, Caesars, like every other state-approved online casino in New Jersey, was thoroughly checked out by the NJDGE before being given the go-ahead to open.

Caesars uses advanced encryption technology to make sure all of your personal information and financial transactions on the site are fully protected.

Furthermore, unlike some online casinos, which use high pressure tactics to get you to make large deposits on signing up, Caesars gives its new players a chance to ease into the games. This is especially reassuring to anyone who is new to online gambling.

Just for signing up, even if you have not made a deposit yet, you are given $10 to bet with absolutely free. You can even keep your winnings with only a token wagering requirement and no further obligation.

You also get 500 credits to use as play money, and even though it is just play money, so you cannot win anything, it costs you nothing and gives you a chance to try out lots of games. Caesars’ willingness to let you try before you buy is a clear indication of how this casino bends over backwards to be fair.

Caesars supports responsible gambling practices and gives players the option to have preset playing time, deposit, and loss limits.

CaesarsCasino.com software

CaesarsCasino.com, like HarrahsCasino.com and 888.com, uses proprietary software from 888 Holdings. You cannot go wrong playing at a casino powered by 888 software, since this company, like Caesars itself, has been in the gambling business a long time and clearly know what it is doing.

Online casinos around the world have been relying on 888 software since 1997. 888 Holdings is the only software provider currently servicing all three states where, as of this writing, state-run online gambling is available (New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware.)

CaesarsCasino.com not only offers you the kind of luxury and style you are accustomed to if you play at casinos like Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and Caesars in Atlantic City.

You also get to enjoy the convenience and flexibility of having the casino games brought to you instead of your having to travel anywhere. Furthermore, registering and opening up an account at CaesarsCasino.com could not be easier. Because it is an instant play flash casino, you don’t have to download anything.

All of the CaesarsCasino.com games can be opened up and played on any browser, so you are not tied down to your own home computer. And the casino is both PC and Mac compatible.

CaesarsCasino.com mobile app

Or, if you prefer, you can play some of your favorite slots and table games on your mobile device.

As you might expect, the number of games on the mobile platform is much more limited than what is available to you on the computer, but the convenience and flexibility is unmatched. You could be waiting in a restaurant or doctor’s office, or for a bus or plane any hour of the day or night, or virtually anywhere, as long as it is in the state of New Jersey, and you would be able to play.

Within New Jersey, you can connect using Wi-Fi or a mobile data plan and log in with the same username and password that you use for play on CaesarsCasino.com on your computer.

Your current choice of games in the mobile casino includes select slots, video poker, blackjack, and roulette. The Caesars mobile apps support play on current versions of both Apple iOS iPhones and iPads and Android devices.

Simply visit the CaesarsCasino.com website on your mobile device and download the appropriate app. For your convenience, deposits and withdrawals can be made safely and securely right on your mobile device.

Unfortunately, at the present time, CaesarsCasino.com does not appear to be optimized for play on mobile devices other than the ones mentioned. So if you are one of the many people who owns a different type of tablet or smartphone, such as a Blackberry or Windows phone, you might not be able to use it to play at this casino.

Hopefully, Caesars is making it a priority not only to add more games to its mobile platform but to make them accessible on a wider range of devices.

Casino Games at Caesars online casino

Caesars Atlantic City is a large casino, home to more than 2,000 slot machines and well over 100 table games. No online casino has anywhere near that number of games, but some of the largest do have over 500 games.

Here are the games you can play on CaesarsCasino.com. There are no live dealer games.

Slots

Video poker

Roulette

Blackjack

Baccarat

Slots at CaesarsCasino NJ

Slots are the lifeblood of any casino, online or offline, and Caesars is no exception. When the site was first launched, only 26 slots were offered, hardly enough to meet any frequent slot player’s needs.

That number has now ballooned to more than 80 slots, with more still being added. Rather than rely on just one provider exclusively for its slot games, Caesars’ slots come from several different well known manufacturers (like IGT, Amaya, and High 5), thereby introducing more variety into the mix and increasing the likelihood that you will find some of the games especially appealing.

Do you enjoy playing classic but relatively simple 3-reel slots? Or do you prefer never-a-dull-moment, 5-reel multiline video slots with expanding wilds, scatter symbols, free spins and multipliers and bonus rounds, offering many ways to win? Either way, you should have no problem finding slot games to your liking.

Part of the thrill of playing the progressives is that you never know when any of the top prizes will be hit, and all it takes is one lucky spin to trigger it. Sometimes the payouts are relatively small (i.e., $1,000 to $2,000), while other slots have made the lucky winner an instant multimillionaire.

We especially like the free play feature. There is no doubt that a lot of creativity went into naming these slots, so you are bound to spot games that sound intriguing just from the title, but you cannot be sure you will actually like.

But with 500 credits to use as you please, with no risk whatsoever, you can use some of your play money to test the waters. This reviewer played Monopoly in free play mode for a few minutes and won 150 credits on one spin!

When you find a game you like and looks like it could be lucky for you, you can instantly make the switch to betting with real money.

Table games

Blackjack

Blackjack is extremely popular, not only at land-based casinos, but with online casino players, too. This is one game where rules definitely matter.

Unsophisticated low stakes players might not care and are happy to play almost any version of blackjack, even if the rules are terrible, as long as the bet size is within their range. However, most players with a basic understanding of the game, and hopefully you, do care about the rules.

At CaesarsCasino.com, four different varieties of blackjack are offered.

Micro Limit Blackjack: This game, with betting limits of just 10 cents to $10, is strictly for small stakes players. It is played with eight decks. The dealer stands on soft 17, and doubling down is allowed on any two cards and after splits. Unlike in the standard blackjack game, more than one card can be drawn to a split ace. The one bad rule in the game is that blackjack pays 6-5 (instead of 3-2). However, bonuses are given for various other card combinations.

Vegas Blackjack ($5-$100): This is a standard four-deck game with betting limits of $5-$100.The dealer stands on soft 17 and you can double down on any two cards and after splits, except split aces, where you get one card only. If you have played six-deck or eight-deck blackjack in any of the Atlantic City casinos, this game will be familiar to you.

Side Bet Blackjack: This game is like Vegas Blackjack except that it is played with six decks and you have the option to make various side bets. We recommend skipping the side bets due to their high house edge.

European Blackjack: European Blackjack is an eight-deck game in which the distinguishing feature is that the dealer has no hole card. Instead, the dealer receives the second card only after all the players have acted. Unfortunately, you lose your entire double down or split bet when the dealer has a blackjack. Doubling down is allowed on nine, 10, or 11 only. Doubling after splits is also allowed. Early surrender (except against a dealer ace) helps compensate for some of the less favorable rules. Table limits are $1-$100, $5-$250, or $15-$500.

Blackjack is your best bet at this casino, not only because there is more variety offered than on the other table games, but also because the house edge is lower (assuming you use basic strategy).

Roulette

CaesarsCasino.com offers three different ways to play roulette:

Classic (American) Roulette

European Roulette

Double Roulette

European Roulette offers better odds than American Roulette since the wheel has only a single zero and no double zero. Double Roulette is a game where the wheel has a special yellow section, providing additional opportunities to win when the ball lands on yellow.

Minimum and maximum bets per spin depend on which table you choose. Roulette players have a choice of tables offering one of these three table minimums and maximums.

$1 to $100

$5 to $250

$15 to $500

CaesarsCasino.com bonus – promo code

As soon as you register as a new player, you automatically receive $10 absolutely free to use as you please in the casino. If you wish to keep the bonus and your winnings, all you have to do is play through the bonus once, and you have 30 days to do so.

Then, when you are ready to make a deposit, you will receive a 100% match on your first deposit up to $300.

The playthrough requirement, which you also have 30 days to meet, is a very reasonable 10x the bonus + deposit. But keep in mind that only slots count 100 percent.

Once the playthrough requirements are met, the bonus, your deposit, and any winnings, are all available for withdrawal. Of course, if you are a small player and prefer to deposit less than $300, you can do so and receive a smaller bonus. In fact, the minimum deposit is only $25.

When you compare this Caesars Casino bonus with some of the other welcome bonuses being offered online players, especially American players, you will see that the terms and conditions are far superior to the norm. The Caesars bonus is very fair.

Keep in mind that it cannot be used when playing on mobile devices.

Banking

No hassle banking is more myth than reality at most online casinos which accept US players, but at CaesarsCasino.com, that is not the case.

Caesars makes funding your account a piece of cake, since you can choose from any of the following safe and secure options:

The Caesars Casino cashier is your best bet for withdrawals. You can go there anytime, day or night, and receive your money instantly. Otherwise, you will have to wait for a bank transfer or check.

Player rewards

Almost every decent online casino offers a player rewards program (otherwise, since no one wins all of the time, what incentive would you have to keep coming back?) But Caesars is in a position to offer a rewards program that is far superior to what you will find at most online casinos.

The program is aptly called Total Rewards.

The distinguishing feature of the Total Rewards program is that all of the participating casinos (both online and offline) are linked so all of your play counts. Where you play (and it will probably be at a combination of places) is entirely up to you and will in no way affect your ability to benefit from the program.

Membership is free, and even if you are a small player, your points add up faster than you may think.

Reward credits are the points you receive, based on your play, which you can accumulate and convert into cash or use towards rooms, food, entertainment, or other purchases at any Caesars property. One hundred reward credits are worth $1 in spending money.

Tier credits are the additional credits you earn based on your play, which determine which of the four Total Rewards tier levels you belong to:

Gold (starting level)

Platinum

Diamond

Seven Stars

The higher the level, the greater the minimum number of tier points that must be earned within a calendar year to qualify:

5,000 for Platinum

15,000 for Diamond

150,000 for Seven Stars

Also, the higher the level, the more you more you receive back in extra rewards and benefits.

Players in the top two tiers receive benefits and privileges the rank and file only dream about: a personal host, comped rooms and suites, access to the Diamond Club or Seven Stars Lounge, priority lines for hotel check-in, restaurants, etc., luxurious gifts, deluxe vacations, and invitations to exclusive events.

Customer Support

CaesarsCasino.com provides 24/7 customer support for any account or play-related questions or concerns. You can access the service via live chat, phone or email.
